No one can criticize the Pirates organization for going cheap in this draft,
even with an (arguable) over-draft of Sanchez with the fourth-overall pick.
The club spent big money on more than 10 players in the draft. Sanchez did
everything he could to make his selection look smart. The solid-defensive
catcher hit .308 in four rookie ball games before moving up to low-A,
where he hit .316/.415/.561 in 155 at-bats. He then received a four-game
trial in high-A ball and he should begin 2010 back at that level. Along
the way in ‘09, Sanchez showed better power than expected (.245 ISO) and
a good eye at the plate with a walk rate of 11.9 BB% in low-A. His BABIP
was unusually high for a catcher at .368, so he’s probably not going to
be a .300+ hitter, but he has more than enough value elsewhere.
In limited innings, Black showed solid potential with a ground-ball rate
right around 50%, as well as a solid fastball that allowed him to post a
strikeout rate of 9.48 K/9. His walk rate was a little high at 4.31 BB/9
but you have to like the 2.63 FIP and that fact he allowed just 26 hits
and kept the ball in the park. Second rounder Pounders had a solid debut
in rookie ball and appears to be a big-bodied, workhorse type. Third
rounder Chambers batted just .245 despite a .381 BABIP. His walk rate of
20% in short-season ball was nice to see and he actually had more walks(50)
than hits (49). The 39% strikeout rate suggests he may have been too
passive at the plate, although I don’t have numbers showing how many of
those Ks were looking and how many were swinging. With an ISO of .135,
he’s going to have to trim the strikeouts, even if it’s at the risk of
losing some on-base average.
Dodson, Von Rosenberg, Cain, Schoenfeld, and Inman did not see enough
playing time to comment on at this point, but all players have significant
potential. The first four prospects are all raw high school players, while
Inman was drafted out of Stanford and could move a little bit quicker.
Stevenson appeared the most of the over-slot picks and he allowed 13 hits
in 15.0 innings of work in rookie ball. The right-hander struck out eight
and walked no one.
